What is Distributer firing order
 

Ok my car still wont idle.... We changed around the ignition wires now the car wont even start. Does any know the firing Order

is it 1 2 or are the top 2 1 3 those represents firing order on distributer.
3 4 2 4

The distributer cap is labeled T1, L1, T2, L2. This is not in order, just letting you know its labeled. Match it up with the info below.

Facing the spark plug side of the motor

The top two plugs from left to rights are...

| T1 |-------| T2 |

Two bottom ones are...

| L1 |-------| L2 |

hope that helps

Ok we have them matched up but the engine still wont fire. On both rotors the rpm gauge is dancing again.. It was running then all of the sudden it wont run anymore could we have the wrong spark plugs or something?

looky here for spark plug info. Also did you swap the coil wires by accident, if you did switch them back.

Are you getting spark to all of the plugs?

are u 180 degrees out? mine was and all it would do was seem like it flooded out and every once ina while smoke would puff out the carb

180 out doesn't matter on a rotary. The plugs fire every revolution, not every other revolution.

It only matters when you are gonna check timing.

Are we talking about distributor phasing or engine position? It can be 90° off or 180° off, or something. :)

Well we switched everything back to normal. The car will not start! If we use hot shot starter it will start then die... It seems like it isnt getting gas. I ran it for awhile before at around 3000rpms but the engine was missing and wouldnt idle then after we tinkered with it and put everything back it wont START. Even if we did get it to start it would still be missing... Im about ready to sell it and get a dumb honda civic or something that actually runs...

Is the fuel pump running as soon as you put the key switch in the on position, for a few seconds? is the rpm guage still working when cranking?

I dont know about the fuel pump.. but the rpm gauge when i turn the key jumps from 0 to 2000 and up down and never starts..

Ok. look at the bowl levels in the carb. Are they empty? 1/2 filled? fully filled?

I cant tell u that right now im at my dads shop the car is at the house. this car has been a never ending problem machine..

well, check it out when you get a chance and let us know.

Well on mine the spark plug wires are like this:

It is a 1981 GSL

Hope it helps!
